mission

Engage four-wheel-drive and engage the differential locks to maintain traction before negotiating rough
terrain.

vehicle. This includes checking or replacing filters and cleaning inside the engine compartment and pump body.
Removal of gritty dust from components such as valves and control lever linkages and other moving parts is essential
Unless removed, fine dust may cause excessive component wear.

turbocharged engine, this loss will not be appreciable.
